The Great Big Bible Story is a faith-based curriculum and resource brand that helps families bring the Bible to life through story, song, play, and creativity. Everything we make — the magazine, storybooks, and curriculum — is built around one idea: that every story in Scripture connects to tell one great big story, and it's all about Jesus.
Scope & Sequence
The Bible isn't a collection of moral lessons. It's one great, big story—all about Jesus! GBBS teaches the whole Biblical narrative in sequence, so kids don't just know the characters. They know the plot. The scope and sequence lays out exactly how we get from Genesis to Acts in one year.
